(Cl. 26115) The invention relates to humidifiers, as de- The coil 2 is a spirally wound around the moisscribed in the present specification and illusture discharge pipe 6, and projects from the disat in e a p g d g that forms charge pipe at I, the drain opening for'the conpart of the same. 'densation being at 5 though the actual coil ends 5 The invention consists essentially in yjust beyond the discharge and of the said pipe 6, 5

e flow of heating gases from a a g un and is connected to a suitable water supply. r h a sh ll n a nin h w er l m n This coil 2 continues to the valve 3 and terwith feed and delivery connections as pointed out minates within t discharge pipe adja ent t in the claim for novelty following a description the inlet end, and in the Spray nozzle 4 pointing detall 9 the prefenfed construction in the direction of the discharge end of the said 10 The oblects 1r 1Vent1n to humldlfy pipe 6 Where the moisture is expelled to the atthe atmosphere in interiors of dwellings and pubmosphere '3 represents a damper which, as 1x 312 33? gg l gg g g f shown by Fig. 5, is slidably arranged to close the 15 trol of the user in regard to quantities and conoutle,t openmg and thereby regulate the y 15 passing of the gases.
